The magnificence of this entrancing part of Scotland should not be underestimated.  In Sutherland you can get close to nature and experience the sights and sounds of a place rich in natural beauty.   Marvel at the amazing sheer cliffs at Cape Wrath and listen to the call of sea gulls and the crash of the waves.  Breathe in the fresh air and take walks near the many fjords, inlets and sandy beaches.  There are also a few pretty seaside towns to visit where you can get a cup of tea but be prepared, this part of Scotland is remote so taking picnics on days out is recommended.  Sutherland is some distance from many parts of the UK but most airports operate flights to Inverness where you could hire a car to explore this amazing and largely undiscovered part of Scotland.
